Abstract: Jackstraws bearing various geographic and sports indicia thereon are employed in conjunction with a game board having a map illustrated on a playing surface. Jackstraw receptacles in the playing surface are positioned about the map in the vicinity of cities having major sports teams. The game board itself is comprised of a hinged box; the top and bottom of the box form the playing surface when the box is open and the box halves laid flat. A chamber is formed between the box top and bottom when the box is closed. The jackstraws can be stored in the chamber when not in use.
